Welcome home Newbie!As for Soul Mates are concerned, they are the souls with whom we come into contact in this life time - for a reason, for a lesson to be learned, or perhaps to help us go through certain aspects of life.
That is my take of it based on my experience, and as for partnership and love relations - it is all within you to get on well...... the freewill supercedes.
